The Republican Party of Minnesota recently released a statement on Gov. Tim Walz's (D-Minnesota) recent announcement on COVID-19 restrictions.
The restrictions that Walz put into place were to close dine-in service between 10 p.m. and 4 a.m. with indoor bar and restaurant capacity capped at 150 people.
“Gov. Walz has not been streamlined in his response to COVID. When it suits his purposes he champions the data, when it doesn’t fit his position, he ignores the data. We’ve watched for nearly nine months as he’s taken advantage of his position to have it both ways and control all Minnesotan’s lives," a press release from the Republican Party of Minnesota read.
The Republican Party of Minnesota said the impact of Walz's decisions will further destroy an industry that is already struggling to make ends meet.
“It is far past the time where the governor should have rescinded his powers, rolled back this extreme government overreach and stopped abusing the powers of his office to work co-equally with all branches of our government to allow more voices in the room and options to be put out on the table," the press release stated.
